60's-70's in our neck of the woods would have been Prince Albert. You could pipe it or roll it. My grandfather did both.- seagullplayer

How to Best use my Pipe Budget?
I found I had to spend a lot of money to do better than my cobs. In fact after ten years, I don't know that I have. I find some of my other pipes more visually appealing, but I don't know that they smoke better. I'm saying don't over think it, you are gonna have several favorites over time...- seagullplayer

How Cold is "Too Cold?"
I bring wood up to the house from the barn about every other day in winter. Using the bucket on the tractor. While loading the bucket I will often sneak in a bowl. The barn keeps most of the wind out. I stash a MM hardwood a lighter and a pouch of something in a plastic ammo box down there...- seagullplayer

Latakia Burnout - How Long does it Last?
I'm still waiting to enjoy it the first time... I did leave a jar of fox and hound sit for four or five years. It has helped. I think it was at least five or six years old when I got it. Every once in a blue moon I'll sample a bowl, still waiting.- seagullplayer

Your biggest Surprise in Pipe Smoking?
After reading all the rave reviews everywhere I would look. A few years ago I went way out of my way to pick up a can of the frog. I think that was about 2014. Just last week I happened upon the nearly full can. I can just now after all these years, almost open it without gagging from the...- seagullplayer

Dr. Grabow Quality
My newest ones are a couple of years old. I had a couple of my dad's from the 70's and I have had no issues with any of them. I'm sure a feller can buy much nicer pipes, but I'm not sure I would say "better". All mine work very well for their intended purpose.- seagullplayer

I find "breaking-in" a pipe to be as much about me getting use to the pipe as it does the pipe getting used.- seagullplayer
